Hoist the Jolly Roger above the bestseller list, ye mateys, 'cause Michael Crichton has just published a swashbuckling pirate thriller. The popular author of "Jurassic Park" and "The Andromeda Strain" went to Davy Jones's locker last November, but his assistant found a finished draft of "Pirate Latitudes" on his computer, and Harper has plundered this booty like a chest...
Year: 1906 Record: 71-78 Win %: .477 Win % Change: -39 Run Differential: -81 Pythagorean Record: 65-84 AL Finish: 6th of 8 Manager: Bill Armour Best Transaction: Purchased several good players including, Davy Jones, Ed Siever, and Ed Willett. Willett and Siever ended up being pretty decent starting pitchers while Jones was a valuable player off of the bench. Nothing too impressive here, [...]
It’s 9:24 on a Tuesday morning, I’m fantastically and cataclysmically tired, and I have already had an excellent day. Last night while traipsing through open houses eighteen through twenty-two (which shall collectively be known as Davy Jones’ Locker), I discovered that my necklace was missing. Not just any necklace, either – I lost the fancy diamond [...]
Over at Edible Geography, Nicola Twilley collects some information about wine and beer recovered from shipwrecks , some of which has been sold for thousands of dollars per bottle. It appears the ocean floor, if treated as a single entity, might actually be the world's largest wine cellar -- a sunken treasure trove of lost vintages awaiting rediscovery. Like squirrels digging up acorns, wreck-divers...
It's happened to the best of us: a hard drive crash takes our precious iTunes library down to Davy Jones' Locker, and we either don't have backups, or our...

The star of Stephen Poliakoff's forthcoming Glorious 39 on his neuroses, playing educated toffs and why he digs David Hare "A machiavellian dandy . . . Pure coldheartedness . . . Fabulously insincere." As I read out reviews of an old Bill Nighy performance, the actor grimaces and drums his knuckles on the table. "If ever a face was made for villainy, it's Bill Nighy's," I continue....
The Swedish online retailer that had trademarked a near replica of The Pirate Bay’s iconic logo has agreed to withdraw registration of what has become an enduring symbol of online piracy, Swedish media reported Wednesday. The move by Sandryds Handel came two days after Peter Sunde, one of The Pirate Bay co-founders, complained to Sweden’s Patent [...]
I am rarely surprised by the weather. And yet here I am talking about it. But I'm English. It's what I do... Have you noticed the link to the Met Office Weather Warnings in my sidebar? And have you noticed that it keeps warning about extremely wet weather in the North West? Well durrr. Really it's a given. November + North West + Pennines = rain. Shocker. However, we have had a few brisk storms recently....
The Pirate Bay, the largest, most popular BitTorrent tracker on the internet, has faced seriously troubled times this year, and today, the site’s operators announce that they’re officially closing their doors for good. (more…)
orbitalpunk added a blog post Disneyland Update 09-15-11 Some observations in the park tonight. Blah blah blah, insert intro here. 3..2..1.. Go!

I can think of two things wrong with "Pirate Radio." One is the generic title, a switch from the original name, "The Boat That Rocked." The other is that, while the events depicted take place in the British rock scene of 1966 and 1967, one key scene is set to The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again"
“The Outcast” is the first Trek episode to deal with, at least arguably, the issue of homosexuality. Truth be told, it does not do that very well. Homosexual advocacy groups have criticized the episode for washing its hands of the issue after Gene Roddenberry had allegedly promised to present a conspicuously gay character on TNG. There is some ambiguity as to the truth of Roddenerry’s...
